I understand the philosophy; are there any technical advantages to offering Torrent-based albums?
Again, the advantages are countless. First, it is possible to include any number of additional media files in your Torrent. For everyone’s benefit, files contained within the torrent must have one of the following file extensions: flac, mp3, wav, aiff, aac, mp4, m4a, ogg, mkv, avi, ifo, bup, vob, mpeg, mpg, jpeg, jpg, gif, png, pdf, svg, eps, ps, tif, tiff, tga, raw, txt. Basically, all common media formats are supported. This makes it possible to distribute “bonus” materials, additional photos, lyrics, etc. along with the audio tracks.
